Looking at resumes of potential candidates again. I could write an entire blog about how funny these things are at times.

ooooh ya those are funny. Especially when they say: I'm 80% good in X and 40% good in Y
and I say 100% good for RecycleBin -.-

Speaking as one myself, please have pity on recent grads :)

When you don't have any experience you think that you need to inflate your CV because the job descriptions are inflated too. You are desperate and think "If I trick these interviewers and get the job I can study later to fill the gaps. I really need this first job". But afterwards you realise that it's better to be honest and humble. That's how I got a job. I kept bullshitting interviewers until I was dissapointed and presented my self modestly.
